The Frankincense Trade refers to the historical exchange of frankincense, a fragrant resin obtained from the Boswellia tree. This trade was significant in ancient times, particularly in regions like the Arabian Peninsula and East Africa, where the trees grow. Frankincense was highly valued for its use in religious rituals, perfumes, and traditional medicine. The trade routes for frankincense were part of the larger Incense Route, connecting the Mediterranean to the Indian Ocean. Merchants transported the resin across vast distances, contributing to the economies of various civilizations. Today, frankincense is still sought after for its aromatic properties and potential health benefits.
